It
is interesting to note that throughout the period of the Town theme,
which lasted over a decade there was no passenger ship. This is the perfect material for a water set after all! In 1991, when a great and memorable sets with water ports were released, a small black motorboat appeared in the 6679-1: Dark-Shark set. However, this motorboat probably belonged to smugglers, as policemen were almost every time chasing them on original presentations.It is not in any case a boat transporting passengers. Why there was no such set released? That's a good question. Personally, I am surprised by that fact. Nevertheless, I have the opportunity to present my own idea for this construction!

I designed it to have two decks as it is usually the case in passenger yachts. There are total of 8 seats, 4 at the bottom and 4 at the upper deck.

The bottom deck can be accessed by opening the upper deck to the side. In order to preserve more stability, I divided it into two parts opening in the opposite direction.

The well-glazed cabin of the captain also opens up.

You can find one life jacket and a ladder to the upper deck on the poop deck.

I will try to prepare the instruction for this set in a short time. It is possible that I will change the appearance of the boat and possibly add something else. However, these will be minor modifications.

That's a nice boat. I like its shape too. In which year would you date it? (by this, I mean when were all the parts availlable for Lego to "produce" it?)

I already tried building a car ferry in the style of the one released in 1968, but I did not liked what I've done. I should think about it again.

The number of seats is very interesting. You should think about another bus for your next scenery. I will try to post one of mine this weekend (the two that were in WIP back in 2015 were finished this summer).

Ben is right, you should add some stickers, a water level bar like in 4005 would be nice.I will be printing a sheet of stickers as I've filled the paper, I will post a picture of it this weekend too if I'm able to print it.

Thanks Ben! Hah, I haven't thought about that really. The name could be a nice idea. I shall think about it. I tried to fill as many seats as it is possible. That was the main goal. That Yacht you gave a link to is like a modern Model Team construction. Nice work! Very detailed. Classic is all about simplicity, neatness and studdness more than extreme tiled detailing though :)The bar could be hard to fit in. I would need to make it longer and that looks a bit odd compared to width. I tried ;)
